§ Mr. S. Marshallasked the Assistant Postmaster-General if he will take steps to assist subscribers to the Vigilant telephone exchange to get quicker answers to their calls, which at times remain unanswered.
§ Mr. BurkeAs I stated in reply to the hon. Member for Epping (Mrs. Manning) on 31st January last, the service given at London exchanges generally is not yet up to pre-war standard. Conditions at Vigilant exchange are much the same as at other exchanges. The difficulties are due mainly to lack of experience of a high proportion of the operating staff and a general improvement in this respect should. be noticeable soon.
